I re-read your post and although this may be superfluous, wanted to say this. Please don't forget to live in the here-and-now. You can work later, and fight this beast called cancer, but right now, you need to be where you are. Not all the time, perhaps, but you will find later that this is part of letting go, of adjusting to a new normal.

I missed out on that when my brother died, because I wasn't there, and it haunted me for years. Even though Ed isn't his old self, he's still here in a way. Give yourself time, hard and heartbreaking as it is. It will help you to live on the way he wants, or wanted, you to.

Warm snuggly hugs for you, sweet girl.

Love

Jacqueline
